Twenty minutes later.The car came to a slow halt afront the Lawrence Manor.Estie did not let anyone carry her down. She propped against the seat, got out of the car slowly, and walked ahead without saying a word.Byron followed her silently.The moment father and daughter entered through the doors; they heard a call…“Estie!”Wendy was in the living area swiping on her mobile phone leisurely. She had looked up for a glance when she heard someone come in.Seeing that it was Estie, she immediately ran over pretentiously and hugged the little girl enthusiastically. "You're finally back! Why did you run away without saying anything? I was scared! Are you okay? Are you hurt?"She even looked over the little girl's body nervously as she said this.Caught off guard by her hug, Estie was stunned for a moment.Wendy's hypocritical voice sounded in her ear and the little girl gradually recovered the coldness in her eyes.Did this woman really not know, why she ran away from home?I
The four of them returned to the villa immediately.Rosalie and the two little ones were still hungry and plowed through the food that Mary had taken away.After eating, the two boys went upstairs and showered.Mary looked at her best friend meaningfully. "I don't quite understand why you’re hiding from Byron. Didn't you two agree to divorce that time? Why are you so afraid of him now? Besides, what was the reason for your divorce? You didn't actually tell me what happened a few years ago."Meeting her gaze, Rosalie subconsciously lowered hers. She hesitated for a while before reluctantly describing the situation back then to her.“Rosalie, you sure are ballsy!”Mary did not actually expect her best friend to drug Byron and then get pregnant with his child secretly.No wonder she wanted to run after hearing Byron’s name today!Rosalie bit her lower lip bitterly. "I don't want him to know about Lucian and Nox. Moreover, when I gave him the drug, I was afraid that he still had a
Lawrence Manor. Late night. Byron walked light-footed into Estie's room and tucked the quilt around her.The little girl was sleeping soundly. After watching her deeply for a while, he then turned to leave.The moment he came out, he saw Luther coming up to him to report, "Master, I went to that restaurant to look through their surveillance, but it was broken, and we found nothing."Hearing this, Byron frowned. "That coincidental?" The restaurant's surveillance was broken just as he was having suspicions? Luther looked a little troubled and added hesitatingly, "Maybe it is a coincidence, after all, the lady... No, Miss Jacobs has been gone for so long. We haven't heard from her for years and it's unlikely that she will suddenly appear in the country."Saying that, he looked at his master's expression, and it instantly sank.Luther felt his heart tighten. He lowered his head and said nothing."I understand."Uttered Byron mysteriously before he turned around and went into
Lucian followed his gaze and saw the little girl they had met the night before.The little guy's good-looking brows twisted slightly.Estie was watching them at this moment as she clapped along with the other children.Noticing that they were looking at her, an imperceptible excitement flashed through her big, watery eyes.She did not expect to meet the two brothers here.While they had only met once, she had unconsciously taken a liking to the two, she was not sure why either. However, Lucian and Nox had already looked away when she looked at them."Well, you two go and sit down first. There are two empty seats there. Would you like to sit together?"The teacher pointed to the two empty seats beside Estie.Lucian and Nox were stunned. They did not say a thing, they just nodded and went to sit down.Looking that the two little brothers walking toward her, Estie’s eyes lit up as she watched them longingly.They were obviously sitting beside her, yet they did not look like th
Estie took a painful fall, she also felt really wronged and subconsciously rubbed her little hand, her eyes red. She sniffled and got up from the ground. Then she grabbed a small notebook from the table and began writing stroke by stroke. The kids saw this and found it weird. The little nonverbal child could not speak and would usually write in the notebook to communicate with them.However, since not many people played with her, the little notebook made sparse appearances. Soon, Estie was done writing and she flipped the small notebook over to show JoJo what she had written. [Apologize.]Seeing the word on it, JoJo scoffed. Hand on her waist, she asked, "You dare ask me to apologize? Estelle Lawrence, you're getting bold. You looking to get beat up!?"Saying this, she walked toward Estie angrily with her arms out to push her. Estie did not expect JoJo to make a move and had no time to react at all, frozen in place. Lucian and Nox had been observing this scene. JoJo pu
Rosalie knew nothing of what had happened at the kindergarten.She went to the research institute her teacher had set up in Somerland to report herself after leaving the kindergarten.She saw a handsome and elegant man dressed in a pressed shirt and pants coming toward her the moment she entered the research institute."Rosalie, welcome back. I'm glad to be able to work with you again from now on."Yves Graham stood in front of her and extended his hand toward her in a gentlemanly fashion.Rosalie nodded slightly as she reached out to shake his hand before quickly pulling away.Yves had also worked with Quentin's team back then to execute R&D matters abroad.During that time, Yves had worked as her assistant. Since he graduated from a famous school, his ability had been commonly recognized by her and Quentin. Rosalie's attitude was neither hot nor cold and Yves did not mind it either. He smiled and said, "I'll bring you to your office."With that, he turned to lead the way whi
Hearing her question again, Yves Weatherby put away his smile and said sternly, "I'm already trying to solve this problem."Rosalie Jacobs frowned and looked at him, waiting for the following sentence."Recently, I contacted a medicinal material supplier, and we have already discussed long-term cooperation. All that’s left is to sign the contract. The appointment to sign the contract has also been agreed upon which will be tomorrow afternoon.“The reason why it has not been smooth before is that the research institute has been in the early construction stage. Many complicated and trivial matters need to be dealt with, plus the manpower was unstable. It was only during this period that all things finally went on the right track.“In addition, the medicinal materials in Coast City are monopolized by the large medicinal materials merchants, which resulted in a shortage of supply. Moreover, we are newcomers to the industry, hence these merchants maliciously raise prices. As a result, w
Byron’s brows were slightly furrowed and there was irritation in his gaze.Had his eyes deceived him again?Once or twice, he could let it slide but it had been two consecutive days of him seeing that silhouette at two different places.It was just that…that silhouette had only flashed by before his eyes, and then there was no trace.Byron could not help hissing coldly as he looked away.He must truly be possessed to be thinking of that woman again and again!"Sir, the customer has been waiting for a long time. Are we not going to go in still?"Luther waited for a bit, but after seeing that his master had not moved, he had asked cautiously.Byron closed his eyes. After sorting out his emotions, he calmly answered, "Let's go."With that, he strode in with long legs.Luther hurriedly followed.…When Rosalie and Yves arrived at the box seat, the staff from the research institute had already arrived.Yves asked her to take a seat in the main seat while he sat beside her. Then
